(Not photographic masterpieces, but shooting a military base with a big lens is a fairly dicey undertaking in general. Hope I don't get a visit from the black Suburbans...)

Actually, the black Predator w/Hellfire would be far worse ! I have heard that Kalitta Air carries a huge amount of military mail and cargo to Bahrain.

There was an episode if Titan America on MavTV a few weeks ago that did an hour long on Kalitta Air, it was pretty eye opening. Showed how they rebuild their jet engines like the TF engines, except their goal is not the most HP, but the most fuel efficiency. They completely disassemble and go through an entire 747, one after another. Connie has right at 1,000 employees. Pretty amazing that he started with one small plane.
